HarkinS against outside influences or
chances of escape from prison. A search
was made of the dust holes and Out-Of-
the-way places in the buildings in which
Callan lodged to-day, and upwards of
thirty pounds of dynamite was discOv-
cred, while other explosives were found
buried in the yards and gardens of ad-
Joining houses. The closets, drains and
water pipes in Harkins' residence were
also searched, but nothing was discov-
cred there, though the police are
still in expectation of finding
something to reward them for their
labOrs. 1t appears that the curiosity of
the police was excited and their atten-
ton attracted to Harkins by the fact
that one of his neighbOrS left London for
New York on the Monday following the
inquest on the body of Cohen, and before
starting took pOrtemeanteau to several
places to have it repaired, stating at
each place that he must have it within
an hour in order to enable him to catch
the steamer. The mans evident hurry
impressed the persons he visited, and
their suspicious were communicated to
the police, with the result of tracing
certain things to Harkins which caused
hir arrest as well as that of Callan.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 23.-To-day oc-
Cured in this city an event which few
live to celebrate, even in the healthful
cline of the Northwest. Abel E. Brooks
ard wife entertained large number of
guests, the occasion being their sixty
third wedding anniversary. The groom
was born in New York in 1901 and the

Wisconsin in 1910. Receiving with Mr..
and Mrs. Brooks were Mr.. and Mrs. Ira
Curtis, who have been married SiXty-twO
years the coming January. Both couples
were previously married in the East and

1884, while Curtis has voted the straight
Democratic ticket since the first nomi-
nation of Andrew jackson. Mr.. Brooks

The Arensdorf Trial,

Special to the GiObe.
Sioux CITY, To-, Nov. 23.-In the
Arensdorf trial the day has been occu-
pied by the defen sc in proving that the
character of Leavitt, the informer, is
bad, and that he is not to be believed
under oath. A number of witnesses were
called who reside here, and dispositions
were introduced from parties in Leaven-
worth, Kan, where Leavitt formerly
lived. all to the effect that he is bad
man. Benjamin Keith, now of Chicago,
but formerly of Mt. Clemens, Mich,
swore that Leavitt told him in June,
1856, that there was temperance crowd
in Sioux City (meaning Rev. DR.. Had
dock who was making trouble for the
saloon men, and that when he Qeavitt)
returned here he would fix him SO that
there would be no more trouble. On
cross examination Keith said that Lea
witt had seduced his (Keith's) wife, and
that is supposed to be the reason why he
was anxious to testify against him.
Further than this there was nothing
new developed to-day. The court room
was crowded, and interest is increasing.

burned to the waters edge. A
colored fireman and colored deck
passenger were burned to death. The
boat and cargo are a total loss, nothing
being left of the great cotton carrier but
her immense iron hull. The ChOteau'S
cargo consisted of $500 bales of cotton,
$500 sacks of Gil cake and sundries. On

THE GROWN PRINCE.
The German Doctors State Their
Connection With the Case.

Connection With the Case.
BERLIN, Nov. 23.-Dr. Schmidt, in a
report to the Medical Society of Berlin
on the case of the crown prince, says:
DR.. Gerhardt was first consulted March
6. Afterward, by two operations, he re-
moved a tumOr from the left vocal
chord. He then intimated to DIR. Veg
ener and DR.. Orth, of Ems, his fears
that cancer existed. The sojOurn of the
crown prince at Ems was considered
merely probationary. the object being
to ascertain whether the swelling was
benign or malignant. On June IS DIR.
landgraf discovered a swelling in the
larynX. On July another swelling was
observed, situated on the poSterior wall
of the larynX, with strong OutgrOWth
toward the left vocal chord. On Aug.
DR.. Mackenzie undertook TO eradicate
the swelling. After his operations the
crown prince went to Braemar. The
German doctors. for whom no ac-
cOmmOdatiOn was provided at Braemar,
were not admitted to make further
examination until Aug. %. The left
vocal chord then showed several pointed
eXcrescenceS which DR.. Mackenzie as
sumed to be the result of his operations.
On Sept. l the German doctors left. In
conclusion Dr. Schmidt declares that
"cancerouS intiltratiOn has existed from
the very beginning below the left vocal
chord. This caused irritation which
produced the papillary growths on the
chord. About the removal of these the
public is already fully informed" The
district assembly for Lorraine has unan-
imously voted an address of sympathy
with Emperor William, owing to the ill
ness of the crown prince.
OCOunt RadOlinSki, the chamberlain of
the crown prince, writes that the mani
fold proofs of sympathy which the crown
prince has received from all parts of
Germany and from abroad, together
with the numerous kindly meant recon-
mendatiOnS of remedies TO cure his
malady, have deeply moved and reiOiced
his imperial highness. 1t is impossible,
the chamberlain says, to reply separately
to the many letters and kilograms re-
ceived. and the prince therefore desires
to give a general expression of his
thanks for the sympathy extended TO
him. A dispatch from San Reno says
that the crown princes voice continues
very hOarSe. DIR. Bramann takes no
part in the medical treatment of the pa
tient. which is still entrusted to DIR.
Howell. DR.. Bramann, however, will
remain at San Reno in order to be ready
at any moment TO perform a surgical
operation in case dangerous intiamma-
tory action renders such course neceS-
SarY.

LONDON. Nov. 23.-The Callan-Hark-
ins dynamite affair is growing in i'm
pOrtance. and the prisoners are conse-
quently reaping the dt gree of nOtoriety
attached to the enormity Of their inten-
tiOns as estimated by the police. Since
their arrest the prisoners have been
carefully guarded, and the police have
been actively engaged in searching for
evidence against them. They have, it
is announced, obtained sufficient proof
of their connection with other sus-
pected persons to be in a position
TO expose the whole plot when
the culprits are again arraigned,
and il is said that enough dynamite has
been discovered in places where they
are known to have held conferences
with acquaintance or cOnfederates to
have caused frightful destruction of life
and property. The prisoners, when
searched, were found entirely willing to
undergo the ordeal, but it was after
wards discovered that they had con-
cealed several parcels Of explosive ma
terial in their lodgings and in other
places. Every hole and corner known
TO have been freQuented or visited by
the prisoners is under police surveil-
lance, and additional evidence of their
guilt will doubtless be forthcoming.

The Schoiten disaster.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-At the inquest on
the recovered bodies of the victims of
the W. A. Scholten disaster, the ROtter-
dam agent of the steamer testified that
there were PA persons aboard, of whom
eighty-nine were saved. The body of
Marcus Wasser, one of the steerage
passengers of the Scholten, was re-
covered to-day off Dover. The German
steamer Leander, from Cadiz for Ham
burg, struck the wreck of the W. A.
SchOlten last evening and was tOwed to
Dover in sinking condition. The
channel has been crowded with vessels
for the last few days. The wreck of the
SchOlten lies directly in the path of
traffic, and special light ship has been
sent to replace the improvised one
placed over the wreck yesterday, which
was defective. At the inquest to-day a
steerage passenger named Hughes
stated that he was picked up by one of
the Scholten's boats, which was not
nearly full. The crew of the boat pulled
away as soon as the steamer sank. The
SchOlten's c""-y were retarded in lower
ing the be by the stiffness of the
tackle, which had not been used in a
long time. Forty-nine of the survivors
have returned to Rotterdam.

Probably Asphyxiated.

EAST LIVERPOOL, o., Nov. 23.-This
evening Elmer Bennett entered the
decorating shop of James Baum and
was Mortified at finding five girls and
two men lying PROSTATE on the floor, to
all appearances dead. He summoned
assistance, and by throwing water in
their faces managed to resuscitate two
of the girls and the two men, one of
whom fell over again, however The
unconscious ones were carried home
and physicians summoned. They
prescribed for the patients, but
could not account for their condition.
At the present writing a decorator
named James Amelius is raving like a
maniac, and a girl named Ella Hill is
not much better. The others are in a
serious condition. The physicians can
not tell whether death will result or not,
and are much puzzled over the cases.
1t is supposed that the hands were as
peyxiated by leak of natural gas, but
no OdOr is perceptable in the shops, and
the whole affair is shrouded in mystery.

As the steamers lights were those of a
